We can not live a modern life without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by air. With a plane

one can travel in one day to places which it took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago. 

Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but one can see the country he is traveling through. 

Modern trains have comfortable seats and dinning-cars. They make even the longest journey enjo

yable.

Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large luxury liners or river boats

.They are not as fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holi

day.

Many people like to travel by car. They can make their own timetable. They can travel hundred

s of miles a day, just as their wish. They can stop wherever they want to see something interestin

g or to enjoy a good meal at a good restaurant, or to spend the night at a hotel. That is why peopl

Bob always took the newspaper to Grandpa White’s home last before heading for home. Grandpa White’s was at the end of the road. Bob liked Grandpa White. He often waited for him near the front gate with sweets or nice cakes. Besides, he often asked Bob about things he was doing—about what he was going to do for the summer and what he liked to do.  

The thing that Bob didn’t like about Grandpa was his never-endless stories about his boyhood in California. Bob never asked to hear about Grandpa’s boyhood, but he couldn’t get away.
